How to join a Fein 30 mm tool port to a 1-1/4 in shop-vac hose, and what stops it leaking dust.
Direct fit
These connect directly. A 1-1/4 in shop-vac hose seats on the Fein 30 mm tool port with no reducer.

| Reducer needed | none, direct friction fit |
Shop notes
The port measures about 30 mm and the hose about 32 mm, only 2 mm apart, so the port seats inside the hose as a friction fit. No reducer is needed for this pairing, so the Fein 30 mm tool port and the 1-1/4 in shop-vac hose connect directly.
It is a push fit, not a lock. Seat it fully and check it has not crept loose after a few minutes of vibration before you trust it on fine dust.
